Document Summary
Historical context as pertinent to the "state of nature" Hobbes - ideal to be out of the state of nature. State of nature -war - all against all. Locke - property is an essential part of the state of nature - but rousseau disagrees he thinks it"s a vice. How does the state of nature differ about hobbes and locke to rousseau. He tries to imagine a world before language and society - he says we can use our mind on it"s a speculative/conjectural - using mind and imagination to trace back the state of nature. Why does rousseau want to know the state of nature - to find the origin of human inequality among people. To place one"s mind on an object. Lec: if a person is being mindful then one would not be getting one"s work done because they are procrastinating - this is wrong. Being present does not mean excluding the past and future.
